Gabriel Plaza, el alumno de 10 al que criticaron por elegir Filología Clásica: “Quiero ser profesor en la pública”

En 2022, el madrileño Gabriel Plaza culminó su brillantísimo Bachillerato con un 10 redondo en la Selectividad, una nota que llamó mucho la atención de los medios. El alumno perfecto no quería ser ingeniero o médico, sino graduarse en Filología Clásica, a la que se accede con un cinco. Las redes se llenaron de muchos mensajes elogiosos y unas cuantas descalificaciones de quienes consideran que alguien sobresaliente debe renunciar a la vocación y llenarse los bolsillos. Durante dos días, se abrió un debate público sobre la vocación frente a las salidas laborales o el valor de las humanidades.

Concelho de Albufeira com vários assaltos a automóveis nas últimas semanas

Vários carros foram assaltados nas últimas semanas em plena luz do dia no concelho de Albufeira, alguns deles na zona das Açoteias, de acordo com publicação no website do Correio da Manhã (CM) e com informação chegada ao jornal diariOnline Região Sul.

O último assalto ocorreu no passado sábado, 6 de junho, quando “uns clientes americanos estavam a almoçar e tinham o carro estacionado à porta do restaurante“, segundo um empresário da zona declarou ao CM.

Um vizinho viu um carro alugado com o vidro partido e alertou os turistas. “Levaram malas, portáteis e passaportes que estavam nos bancos“, adianta o empresário.

Também neste sábado, 6 de junho, outras viaturas foram furtadas no estacionamento da praia dos Tomates, situada na zona das Açoteias, cujo clima de insegurança tem deixado os empresários apreensivos. “Sabemos que a GNR faz o que pode com os meios que tem, mas era importante reforçar o patrulhamento nesta zona” afirma o empresário.

Um outro automóvel, de um funcionário de um restaurante também no concelho de Albufeira, foi vandalizado, tendo-lhe sido partidos os vidros e roubados todos os documentos.

O CM adianta na sua publicação que a GNR tomou conta das ocorrências e tenta localizar os suspeitos.

Salvador Dalí at art school: A wayward and insolent student expelled for life

A century has passed since the day that forever changed the life of Salvador Dalí: his second dismissal, this one permanent, from the Special School of Drawing, Sculpture and Printmaking at Madrid’s prestigious San Fernando Fine Art Royal Academy. In such a rigid, rule‑bound environment, Dalí felt out of place — and perhaps for that reason, this academic period has been overshadowed in scholarly writing. What dominates the narrative of those years in Madrid — which he described as the happiest of his life— are his escapades and artistic exchanges with Federico García Lorca, Maruja Mallo, and Luis Buñuel, his companions at the Residencia de Estudiantes, a pioneering cultural and academic residence, and a circle of mutual inspiration.

An army of lawyers is fighting so you can order an Uber at Mexico City’s airport

3 June 2026 at 17:51
An Uber user waits at Mexico City International Airport on Tuesday.

Everything a traveler encounters upon leaving Mexico City International Airport (AICM) illustrates the problems facing the country’s largest terminal. The first thing you see after stepping outside is long lines, cars being towed away, and National Guard officers handing out fines. The standoff between licensed taxi drivers and ride‑hailing apps over control of the airport has been simmering for months, becoming a strange daily routine of enforcement operations and drivers losing their cars at both terminals of the airport. But with only eight days before the World Cup begins in the capital — bringing millions of visitors— the conflict is intensifying.
